If you have herds of people with many having zero money, bad credit, and no aptitude for business you are bound to have a very high unsuccessful rate.  

@Pascual Torres you just need to look harder to find deals or you become a lemming following the rest of the herd of the cliff.Are you letting EVERYONE you know that you are looking for an investment property?

@Marc Dube Without knowing more specifics of the house, I would recommend radiant floor heating. 

It is easy to follow the herd and go after what every is saying is the best way to invest, but invest for yourself not for what others say is the way to invest.Time in the market beats timing the market.

So I personally would look for a multi-faceted MTR renter pool, i.e. be sure you're in an area and presenting your rental in such a way that you will attract other MTR demographics such as tradespeople, digital nomads, etc.Wholeheartedly agree with @Nicole Heasley as well, get out to meetups and see what everyone else is thinking/seeing, but at the same time be careful not to just "go with the herd" too much...reference my oversaturation comment above haha.

Heat pumps, electric radiant, electric convection heaters, mini splits, etc. have come along way and seem to be the way of the future.

That should thin the herd.

(I used to do it for a living)As far as keeping the radiant heat, I would have done that too.

I have houses, with forced air NG, boilers NG & oil, steam boilers and electric radiant heat. 

Initially we will lease ranch land and contract with a cutom grazer to raise our herd(s).
